There has been plenty of leaks from RIM (Research In Motion) about upcoming BlackBerry models for 2011. These include the BlackBerry Touch (Monaco/Monza), Bold Touch, Storm 3, Bold (Dakota), Curve (Apollo), and the Torch 2.
Having gotten hold of a Torch 2, BGR reports that the new device looks almost identical to its predecessor but features a significantly more powerful 1.2 GHz processor. Coupled with the BlackBerry OS 6.1 and a 3.2 inch 640×480 VGA display, it will be an exciting gadget to own.
Processor power has been doubled from the current 624 MHz, and the 3.2 inch screen runs at a higher pixel resolution than the 480×360 pixels on the current BlackBerry Torch.
Going by previous BlackBerry release schedules, we’ll probably only see the Torch 2 in Singapore towards the end of the year.
The main specifications of the Torch 2 are listed below:
- CPU – 1.2 GHz processor
- Display – 3.2″ VGA (480 x 640) capacitive touchscreen display
- Radio – Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE ; Tri-band HSPA 14.4Mbps
- Memory – 8GB storage + 512MB RAM + up to 32GB MicroSD
- Connectivity – WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC
- Camera – 5 megapixels
- Battery – 1300MAh battery
- Thickness – 14.6mm thick
- Sensors – magnetometer, digital compass
